Shopping in eco-style

Seriously, We Are What We Do… Drives me crazy we don’t show proper respect to nature, don’t recycle enough… Plastic bags for example: According to statistics from different countries around the world, each person uses from 167 (UK) to 500 (USA) plastic bags a year. That gives us over 1 trillion plastic bags on our earth every year. It takes 1000 years for 1 bag to decompose! There is something that can be done! Shopping in eco-style! As an eco friendly consumers we go shopping with stylish reusable bags.

Most of these bags are available in many colors and patterns an can be rolled up and fit in a glove box or other handbag and they can hold more than regular plastics bags.
